Someone posted a link to a page that details how many waivers are currently being processed, broken down by each quarter. It was up to date until at least September 2023. I can't find it anywhere? Does anyone know where it is?

@J Rogers did you post it?

Does anyone ever get waivers for Schedule I drug offences or is it an automatic no?

I had 1/2 a pill of MDMA with me at a border crossing 25 years ago (1999) when I was 19 (it wasn't even mine and was more like garbage in saran wrap). I was never charged or denied entry but it created a flag on the CBP system. It caused no problems until 2004 when one officer decided I should be inadmissible, but then he did not actually deny me entry. I inquired about a waiver but was told it wasn't needed. After that I carried proof that I had no criminal record and proof that I had no expunged record for all border crossings and had to spend extra time. This worked until 2015 when one officer made me make a sworn statement about the original incident and definitively made me inadmissible. I finally have an application in and I've been waiting 7.5 months, but I notice that nearly no one here mentions anything worse than marajuana.

@Ana From personal experience: i was getting 1-year waivers for ~7 years after conviction, and then 5-years after that. Waiver #4 was my first 5-year. Those early years were a grind.

Hi @J Rogers
Could you please shed some light on how frequently first time applicants get 5 year waivers ? What are the circumstances that lead them to approve for longer periods of time as opposed to just the 1 year? Thanks in advance.

I did mine May 5th, I’m still waiting. Honestly tired of waiting. @Waiting11

Any information on anyone that did there’s May 5?

@ginette eudes

I think you need to "re-evaluate" how Homeland Security works. Imagine your an officer doing waivers all day. The waivers are complete, the letters sincere and heartfelt, and people are begging to be let into the United States.

Then, you get an application that says "you already have my information. Look it up".

I think if I was that officer, I would send you a request for DOUBLE the information I would normally need.

Your ASKING a foreign country for entry, and they said yes. Upon renewal, you KNOW if you give them what they want, they will say yes. But out of sheer (you can decide what) you decided to NOT do it the way they like.

You want to spend less effort to get a waiver, than I expended in writing this. LOL

On e-safe,,is there a place where i can say it's for a renewal,they must have all the informations from 5 yrs ago??

To renew waiver, do we have to go thru the same process again; to fill up i-192 all over again or is t
here another way??

@ginette @Arnold

You file a new waiver through e-SAFE. The airports are NOT doing this. The forum has pages and pages of how to apply but if you don't want to read, call me.

@J Rogers
The waiver( I-194) i have is for 5 years and expires Feb 13, 2022. I need to be in the U.S April 8-13.
The telephone message is that the renewal progam is cancelled and has been for some trime
I do not know if the I 194 is automatically extended or if a waiver can be obtained to cover my trip.
This is what should be done first, but who do you speak to to do it?
If you can do this , let me know, please

@BackToUSA

I have not been able to get a reply to my phone calls at the Toronto Airport U.S border agency for months. Many attempts to use services in the U.S have gone nowhere.. If you can advise me how to proceed, it would be appreciated.

@Arnold Leah Vera

You have plenty of time to get a waiver before April, and I have been getting my clients waivers since May 2021.

Who told you you could not renew your waiver?

Call me if you want 416-843-1371

@Arnold Leonard Varah
The office is not closed. Reapply and you may have a new i194 before April.

I have an 1-194 5 year temporary admission to the U.s pursuant to Section 2129D)(3)(A)(ii) for business and pleasure (B1/B2) that expires on Feb 13, 2022/ I have an imporant family afffair on April 8.to Apr 13, 2022. My son and family reside in New York City.
I have tired but have ben unsuccessful to get the service required as the renewal of the i-194 service remains closed.
Would I be eligible to get an extension to attend my 12 year old granddaughters religious services and family reception to my presently issued 10-194 ir some other way to attend?

This is indeed a new site as we have not been on the forum for a long time.

@Michelle Still cleaning up some of the older exchanges. It should be much easier to spot hacks and spammers although it's always going to be a fun challenge.
